How do you cook keilbasi?

Kielbasa is quite similar to Czech/Slovak/Bohemian sausages, and I have plenty of experience with those. You're lucky to have some to cook, because you get to choose one of several cooking methods. My favorite is to "steam" it, using a rack or basket holding the sausage(s) just above the boiling/simmering water in a pot or frying pan, or a regular Steamer, Western or Oriental/bamboo. It's important to keep the link whole. You might have to replenish the water supply while it cooks, but when the skin begins to pop and rupture, it's done. It also smokes up great when you're grilling or BBQ'ing other meats. They won't take long, and again, when the skin ruptures, it's done. Try not to overcook it this way. You can also slice it into short lingths and cook it with lots of things...pastas, noodles, beans or black-eye peas or gumbos (YUM for all of the above) I hope this helps you. You've already made me HONGRY! ;) :D

Description of a Microwave?

As far as I am concerned, they have gone downhill a great deal.. When they first came out you could get a machine that when you set a low power setting you actually got low power for cooking. Nowadays almost all machines only put out full power which is pulsed on and off for various periods of time depending on the power level you sought. There is only one or two models on the market now that actually give you a low power. happy searching.

Can you cook flaxseeds?

No, you should not cook with flax seed oil, nor should you heat it above 120°F. Flax oil contains high levels of polyunsaturated fats -- these are good for us when intact, but are destroyed by heat, thereby releasing free radicals.

Use oils higher in monounsaturated fats for cooking (e.g. olive or canola oil) and only use flax seed oil cold, such as in salad dressings.

Why do microwave ovens heat food but seldom heat the dish the food is on?

Microwave ovens heat by passing specific frequency micro-waves though food. Only certain molecules, fat and water, are affected by this, as there is no water or fat in a plate so this will only get warmed though contact with the heated food...

Microwave energy excites the molecules of the food. This generates friction and heat at the molecular level. When food is heated, it causes the molecules to speed up, so artificially speeding up the molecules causes heat to be produced.

What is the main purpose of the microwave oven in the commercial kitchen?

Two main uses; one, to cook far more quickly than in a gas or electric oven; two, to save fuel. Of course the microwave is smaller than the usual oven, so people with very limited space can still cook. Further, some dishes cook more beautifully in the microwave, especially fish and chicken, and even more so if they are cooked inside special bags with the bag opening loosely fastened with a special rubber band. Also they are good for reheating a meal; good if the meal has already been cooked but the consumers arrive home at different times of day.

How much watts you have to cook pizza in a microwave?

Yes, the wattage of the microwave does affect how well it makes popcorn. A low wattage microwave, say 500 watts, will take longer to pop the popcorn (I can remember years and years ago, my first microwave (which was around 500 - 600 watts), taking at least 4 1/2 minutes to make a bag of microwave popcorn) and if it doesn't heat up the oil inside the popcorn sufficiently, the kernel won't explode and "pop". Whereas an 1100 watt microwave like I have now will do the same job in about 2 1/2 minutes.

How do you replace the fuse in a sharp microwave?

The light bulb is inside the metal body of the oven. You'd have to unscrew the cover and remove it to get at the light bulb. It's tricky, but doable for the patient, mechanically inclined do-it-yourselfer. The difficult part is getting the cover back on the unit. Many of these ovens have no screws around the front of the cover; they rely on the meeting point of the cover and front trim to slide into one another. The edges can be sharp and can cut. Don't forget to unplug the thing before diving in.
